Re: Field Marshal Games Pieces Project Discussion thread

I vote the 5.5 inch gun for the British artillery piece

“[5.5” (140mm) were the standard medium field piece of the British Army in the Second World War]."  quoted from http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/systems/ground/fcs-t.htm

What!  No, no 25 pounder is a much better choice!  :-D

25 pounder, no doubt. As Iconic as the spitfire.

Although a bishop self propelled gun would be good

I’m in for 1 preorder.

@Imperious:

The Japanese BB should be Kongo Class, so people can make the Yamato into a 5-5 battleship

Interesting idea, though I doubt anyone would bother spending more IPs on a 5-5 unit… perhaps instead Yamato class ships could each roll 2 dice (still 4-4).

In any case, I would like to see a Yamato piece in the set (don’t care if it’s the normal BB or something else).

Thanks for putting this together.

We definately need new molds for everything.  New BBs, new CV, new CA, new DD (maybe even a tiny bit smaller).  This is going to be great.

The Yamato class already comes w/ AA50.  Although, a new, well detailed one is certainly a good thing.

true that.

The AA50 and AAR Yamatos are pretty much identical.

I was disappointed when I didn’t see P-38s in AA50.  Oh well.  They were kind of clumsy on the carriers anyway.

one of the german infantry should have a panzerfaust to represent volksgrenadier

@Imperious:

to represent volksgrenadier…

ahh for that you need an old dude in a wheelchair holding a MP44 :-D

that would be a funny picture :-D

also could one of the german tanks be a panzer II i have always loved those little guys

@Imperious:

ok i gotr my 2 sets of dice. they are really nice. but i miss the AA gun dice.

Don’t worry, the time will come…

Have we been discussing half-tracks enough?  I guess this is a no-brainer for the UK Mech Inf.

i love universal carriers!

my god, i will never get this pieces  :-(

you don’t like universal carriers?  :-P

@Upside-down_Turtle:

Has nothing to do with that, my little turtle friend. Only 60 individuals are interested in this new pieces, that will make $ 6000 and that is too short even for one single mold. Why you think FMG have left the thread ?
